More Y2K+1 Bugs

from the oops dept

It’s amazing how people made such a big deal about the Y2K bugs which never showed up, and now there are a ton of Y2K+1 bugs (we’ve already mentioned one of them). It looks like a bunch of them were caused by people who simply put in a lame fix for their original Y2K problem. The funniest one is 7-Eleven who apparently spent $8 million on their Y2K fix last year… and it only last one year.
